Meetings, personas, and campaigns, oh my!

Today’s marketing leaders have a lot to juggle at once. That’s why we invited Sofia Colucci, CMO at Molson Coors; Dana Dimitri, Executive Search and Assessment Consultant at Russell Reynolds Associates; Lisa Nucci, CMO at Choose Chicago; and Meera Lyer, CMO at Venmo, to speak at this year’s CMO Forum.

They plan to discuss what marketing management requires and how marketing leaders can persuade executives to buy into their ideas.
